Despite the efforts of medical staff,
Zachary Hall succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. The Anderson County Coroner's Office later confirmed that his death was the result of a gunshot wound and ruled it a homicide. The Anderson County Sheriff's Office immediately launched an investigation into the shooting.
Within a day of the fatal shooting, investigators made an arrest. Terrance Gaje Dennis, a 20-year-old from Anderson, was taken into custody and charged with the murder of Zachary Shanez Hall.
